The removal of the "special offer" is absurd!

[jtarbutn]

I've been eagerly waiting for the Music Production Toolkit. Now, with this bad news, I guess I'll keep waiting because I won't be held hostage by a greedy corporation that lies to its loyal customers. I have bought several different PT systems. I also bought not one, but two PT 7.0 upgrades because I have two computers and I wanted to be legit. Look where it got me! A client recently asked me to consult on outfitting an overdub/mix facility at his location. I will not be able to recommend Pro Tools as I was going to do originally. There's a lot more fish in the sea, Digi.

I used to be DIGI Gung-Ho a few years ago too but "not no mo", I couldn't be bothered to push their product anymore.

[tucum]

I couldn't agree more. You're absolutely right.

The Company should eat thier own Mistakes.
not us Consumer's.

the timing of the plus, was at Holiday Time.

it cost, lots of us, to have to remove someone from our Shopping list..

because it, was a supposedly, A Must Have Upgrade!!...

with all the bells and whistles..

we'll it silenced, most of the Bells, and i haven't walked into any facility, Whistling about the Semi-Wreck of a thing!.... yet..

i am one of the person's that was looking forward, to the 48 tracks,
for a some price that would, be the rebate,
for the non-totally-functioning Plus Update..



the only thing that would be Proper in this situation, would be to let each one of us user's, buy the part of the tool kit/s that best suit's our need's, without all the Crap!!

just separate, give us a fair price for each piece, that we want,, and that will help your financial worries, Digi-Design

as compared to alienating the whole Bunch of us, and making us a part, of your Mis-calculation's

we didn't mis-calculate sending you our money in before the 20th of December, for the so urgent Upgrade...
so we shouldn't be penialized....

i want My Gift, that you promised Mr.Digi

i could have bought my own gift, at holiday time, had you not forced my hand!!!!


i am not switching,,, just becoming very, very, very concerned!, about my future expenditures $$
especially, when it come's to believing your WORD DIGI!!

Holy Drama-Queen sports action here batman!

Did you really have to spend that money on that upgrade.? It's not like the money went to a homeless shelter to save people on the street who were freezing to death. You bought new software for yourself.

I've gone from sessions that I was holding my breath during the final bounces to a hot rodded system that that only shows 25% cpu usage on those same sessions. From 1 R-verb plug-in on a session to 5 or 6 IR verbs easily and without a sweat. That upgrade has completely changed my workfow and CPU is no longer an issue. I would have never believed that an LE system could have as much power as it does now with a dual processor machine.

I am one of the person's that "still is" looking forward, to the 48 tracks, Instead of 3 sessions per song to compile drums, vocal takes, harmony takes, multi guitar takes I am getting it down to 2. (The lack of DSP power had allot to do with this)This will make life sooo much easier. There is way less submixing and bouncing stems to do know.

TL Space......... crap.....c'mon!
Multitrack beat detective.....Do you know how much time will be saved for people who want to edit multitrack drums? The Shan beat detectve method worked fine but took allot longer than this will.
Sound replacer..........do you know how much this plug-in use costs?

How are you being penalized? What is the list price for the plug-ins that you got on the original deal?

Most of all, what is the price for an entry level price TDM system? If you have a dual processor system and that new toolkit your not very far away from one. At a fraction of the price. Life with a Digi LE system now is not as dark as your as your trying to lead everyone on to believe. And your talking peanuts pricewise vrs a TDM system.

The updates have saved me a boatload of money and for now anyways untied my hands from feeling that I had to jump into a TDM system.

Well said dmm, I couldn't agree more. The 2 plug-ins on the special upgrade offer when PT7 came out were almost given away!

It's a shame this forum seems to be dominated by regular complaints about.... well, just about everything!

as for my choice of when i would have been better able to handle, the financial part of my Transaction...
